left for the children if land keeps
disappearing: us fast as it .does
now on some farms.”
Lexend: It is estimated by
M. 1, Bentley, agrieultural engi-
Heer of the Texas Extension
Service, thu 75 percent of the
eultivated hilly land 7 of Texas
slopes two and one-half feet or
more per 100 feet and is subject
to rosion; 60 percent of the
total area of the State is subject
to erosion.
In the entire United States,
100 million acres have been dam*
aged by erosion; 35 million acres
have been arbandoned. It is esti-
matixl that the total annual loan
to farms is not less than two bil-
lion dollars.
Texas fanners have terraced
and contoured more than 12 mil-
lion acres of land since 1916.
Reports from county agricultural
agents indicate that even more
land will be terraced and con-
toured this year than in. 1936,
when more than two million Tex-
as acres were protected against
loss of soil and rainfall.
The Agricultural Conservation
Program carried provisions for
benefit payments which help
farmers by refunding part of the
cost of terracing their farms.
County \ agricultural agents can
give details of the program as it
affects individual farms.

moved along to form a parade
that marched through the town
of New D’Hanis and out to old
Fort Lincoln where the festivi-
ties were held. With C. J.
Sehuehle and Joe Gross as mar-
shalls of the day, Clemens Fin-
ger and George Isle as color
bearers, the procession marched
with measured tread to the
sweet strains of music furnished
by the Lytle School band. For his
splendid work as publicity chair-
man, F. J. and Mrs. Carle were
given place at the head of the
parade. They rode in a par that
was beautiful in its. decorations.
Then came the visiting band in
its colorful attire of black and

ACORDING to Manager W.
G. Ward of the Medina Fal mers
Co-operative Association, the
Medina Valley project is well a
dapted to and should take the
lead in growing potatoes, beans,
tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflewer
and other vegetable crops. He
believes that with uniform grad-
ing and packing it will be easy
for the Medina Valley farmers to
establish a reputation as growers
of quality vegetables and ieap
financial benefit from the effort.
It is a well known fact that well
selected and properly packed
products command a higher price
than bulk lots and for that reas-
on Mr. Ward is endeavoring to
get all Medina Valley farmers
into the association. Cheap wat-
er makes it possible to grow the
produets ’al a niinimuni cost ami
